Hello folks ,
I rarely come to this forum,
I wanted to pen down and keep everyone posted about my condition. I was diagnosed with cadasil in march 2009.
Its been exactly 6 months and i report to say that I am doing perfectly fine
- cross my fingers, and pray to the Almighty.
- I have had a few headaches, and was told by a neurologist that it is due to recovering from stroke and supposedly not related to cadasil
- I am sleeping well
- My exercising is continuing regularly, I am into aerobics, biking and weights.
I bike around 30 miles a week.
- diet is normal
- I am back at work full time for the past 3 months.
- my alertness and sharpness and mental agility is fine.
- Pranayam and Yoga is continuing without stoppage. After pranayam, I feel very relaxed and zero stress.
SO so far so good. Whenever condition worsens it is inevitable and I will take it as it comes, My view is that one has to die any day, this is the final thing that is written for all of us. SO while I am alive, I do not want to think about the bad things and want to keep my thoughts positive.
That said, does any one take
- gingko Biloba?
- Fish oil capsules?
- any one use turmeric either in cooking or eating it raw?
I want to find out, if people are into alternate treatments - Ayurveda etc.
Thanks

Hi,
First off I hope all is well with you. Ok now for my question, I believe you stated the you had a skin biopsy done at the hospital at one point, can I ask you why? Did you have any lesions or marks on your skin?
Take care.

No lesions. No such indication at all
However, Skin Biopsy was done to find out Cadasil.
The result of skin biopsy was negative.
Results of a Skin Biposy are faster and is used to detect Cadasil. However a blood test is a foolproof method. Genetic testing of blood takes longer time.
Thanks

I have been taking gingko biloba, Korean ginseng, fish oil (actually Omegas 3,6,9) and other supplements. Have taken tumeric but am not now -- no real reason, I just ran out and didn't buy more. Don't know that any of these make a difference.
